"A TELEGRAM from Monroe on the Sd

ment: ''rhe startling information reach
ed this city this evening that Charlton, a
disease peculiar to stock, had broken out
with fatal effect among the people living
in the nefghborhood known as the Colo
NY in this Parish. Mr.. G. NJ Collum,
who himself had contsacted the fearful
disease, came in for medical aid. He re-
ported that he lost son last night and
that his wife and two daughters were
down with it also T. Y. Cosper and wife.
Mr.. Hamilton is not expected to live, and
several negroes will die. 1t is thought
that the disease is communicated by inoc-
riation from mosquitoes and gnats which
have bitten diseased stock"

Election Frauds.

The investigation of the election
frauds in New Jersey, as well as those
in Indiana, indicates, if it does not
establish the TACT, that there was a
concerted plan on the part OF the
Democratic managers in these states,
if not in others, to steal enough of
the Legislature to obtain control of
the United States Senate at the sena-
torial elections now being held. The
people Of Michigan fully understand
the efforts thatwere made in this
State to that end by Don M. Dicken.
son, etc. But here the electors sat
down on them so effectively that it
appears that only one or two men
obtained seats to which they were
not probably elected. But it seems
certain that in the third assembly
district in Camden county, New Jer-
sey, a Republican majority at the
polls was changed into Democratic
majority in the returns. In one pre-
cinct in that district, the Republicans
who voted for Mr.. Haines and who
support their votes by their oaths, and
thus prove beyond question that 40
of them voted for Haines, while the
returns show only I5a, and by this
fraud the Democratic candidate was
declared elected by I6 majority on a
second count. The first count show
ing the vote TO be Republican, I7a.
And it is charged that this was done
that the certificate might be given to
a Democrat, not elected, and thus
control the Legislature of New Jersey,
and elect u. S. Senator. And by
games equally audacious they have
attempted to obtain control of the
Legislature of Indiana and elect
Senator there as we'll as to prevent
the Inauguration of the legally elected
lieutenant Governor. There is, as a
matter of fact, too much method in
the Democratic frauds in Ohio, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, Mich.
gan and Illinois, as we'll as in New
Jersey and Indiana to admit of any
other solution of them that they were
deliberately planned by the party
managers.

liquor interests of Michigan would
leave no stone unturned to accomplish
